Abstract
The clinical presentation of HIV-associated nephropathy (HIVAN) include proteinuria, typically in nephrotic range (often massive) and renal insufficiency. HIVAN can be an early manifestation of HIV infection. The term HIVAN is reserved for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) but other glomerular lesions may be there. We are reporting a case of nephrotic syndrome (MPGN) in an otherwise asymptomatic HIV-infected patient.
